    Help, BENQ DV3250-SA

    Looking for some help, im new to this.
    I just got a benQ DV3250 that someone was getting rid of because the screen wont work. Took the thing apart last night and I can't tell if any of the caps are bad, ive seen toasted caps before and all these (that i can see) look fine. Is there some other way of testing each cap? Or maybe thats not my problem.
    When i turn the tv on, i can hear the fan start up in the back and the screen flicks on for a second then goes black.

      Caps are best tested with an ESR meter (such as Bob Parker's Blue ESR meter), or with something like RusMike's combo ESR and capacitance meter (look in the 'Test Equipment' subforum). Don't forget, many manufacturers have figured out how to produce caps that fail without any visible signs.

      The symptoms you describe sound like 'Two Seconds to Black', which can have a number of causes, including bad caps (especially in the inverter), a bad CCFL, bad wiring to the CCFLs, or a bad transformer.

              Did you ever find out the problem with your tv? I have the same problem. I can hear the fan start when I turn the power on and it does a quick attempt to turn on while making this electrical flicker sound while the screen flashes quickly but then screen goes black again.

                  You have got to be having a laugh

                  This thread is 3 years old!!! If you want someone to help you will need to
                  open your set up take a good clear picture of the insides showing the setup then good clear well lit but not flash pictures of each board.
                  Have a look at other tv posts and see what is generally required.
                  Sounds like it could be Bad bulbs/ wiring so first thing to try is to unplug
                  clean where possible an replug all connectors
                  Say what you electronic experience is and if you have a multimeter/soldering equipment.
                  Was it your set - any history leading up to failure.
                  Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

                      Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                      by momaka
                      I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                      For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                      It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                      by Noodneek
                      My 3.5 years old monitor (BenQ SW2700pt) started to black out for 1-2 sec every minute or so, it was doing this even with PC disconnected from it. I searched online and read that it's probably aging capacitors and there's a workaround to lower the brightness.

                      I lowered it from 100 to 65% and it indeed helped, but after a couple of months the issue returned... I continued to lower the brightness, but it helped only for a couple of hours at most, then I needed to lower it further... Turning the monitor off and waiting for it to cool down also helped for a short time, after which it...

                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                      by eryjus
                      Hello,

                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                      ...

                      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                      by Paxman_Swede
                      Hello!

                      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                      I have studied the board and...

                      Help with switching power supply caps
                      by captain150
                      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
